Book Description
THIS beginning-part is not made out of anybody's head, you know. It's real. You must believe thisbeginning-part more than what comes after, else you won't understand how what comes after cameto be written. You must believe it all; but you must believe this most, please. I am the editor ofit. Bob Redforth (he's my cousin, and shaking the table on purpose) wanted to be the editor of it;but I said he shouldn't because he couldn't. He has no idea of being an editor.Nettie Ashford is my bride. We were married in the right-hand closet in the corner of the dancingschool, where first we met, with a ring (a green one) from Wilkingwater's toy-shop. I owed for itout of my pocket-money. When the rapturous ceremony was over, we all four went up the lane andlet off a cannon (brought loaded in Bob Redforth's waistcoat-pocket) to announce our nuptials. Itflew right up when it went off, and turned over. Next day, Lieut.-Col. Robin Redforth was united, with similar ceremonies, to Alice Rainbird. This time the cannon burst with a most terrificexplosion, and made a puppy bark.My peerless bride was, at the period of which we now treat, in captivity at MissGrimmer's. Drowvey and Grimmer is the partnership, and opinion is divided which is the greatestbeast. The lovely bride of the colonel was also immured in the dungeons of the sameestablishment. A vow was entered into, between the colonel and myself, that we would cut themout on the following Wednesday when walking two and two.Under the desperate circumstances of the case, the active brain of the colonel, combining with hislawless pursuit (he is a pirate), suggested an attack with fireworks. This, however, from motives ofhumanity, was abandoned as too expensive.Lightly armed with a paper-knife buttoned up under his jacket, and waving the dreaded black flag atthe end of a cane, the colonel took command of me at two P.M. on the eventful and appointedday. He had drawn out the plan of attack on a piece of paper, which was rolled up round a hoopstick. He showed it to me. My position and my full-length portrait (but my real ears don't stick outhorizontal) was behind a corner lamp-post, with written orders to remain there till I should see MissDrowvey fall. The Drowvey who was to fall was the one in spectacles, not the one with the largelavender bonnet. At that signal I was to rush forth, seize my bride, and fight my way to thelane. There a junction would be effected between myself and the colonel; and putting our bridesbehind us, between ourselves and the palings, we were to conquer or die

Book Description
In this charming series of short stories from Victorian author nonpareil Charles Dickens, four pairs of lovebirds offer up a detailed account of their courtships. There's just one catch -- none of the besotted have yet reached the ripe old age of 10. Displaying his usual knack for uncannily accurate characterization, Dickens gives readers a glimpse into the triumphs and trials of schoolyard romance.
